Good afternoon A quick question about the Santa fe electrics. The Tow bar has now been fitted to my lovely new car. Today i have been to my caravan and the 12v not working, so my battery and fridge are not working off the car. So spoke to the fitters and they are going to sort that out...

Hi everyone I have been looking to change my tow car to a Volvo XC60. Been to the dealer yesterday and the caravan club are doing a really good deal on the car. Has anyone towed with the AWD XC60? Is it worth getting the levelling suspension when ordering the car? I'll be getting a car to...

Hi Brian, The question you are asking is hard to answer as it depends on the car you drive! DPF's only work at high temperatures when the system needs to clean! I have a vauxhall Antara and it's does a clean between 450 to 500 miles! I'm guilty of using 6th as much as possible to keep the...

Hi everyone, Just thought i would share this very important information about cars which are diesels! I have a new diesel car and its a worry for me but luckly enough i do long enough journeys. Have a read of this article if you are deciding to get a new diesel! :dry: :ohmy: :( We get...

Hi there When I was looking a good tug, I looked at what I wanted and what was the best deal around. I went with a Vauxhall Antara 2.2 turbo diesel! It's great tug, Iv done thousands of miles with it and it's never missed a beat. Yes I know it's a SUV but it's a very capable tug and has...

Just wondering is anyone going to Ravenglass this Easter? Me and my wife and two labs can't wait to get away for Easter weekend! Looking forward to relaxing!

Nice looking tug! I looked at them before I bought mine and just couldn't stretch to the extra money, seems to be in good condition.

Hi Brian If you are still looking for some help towing your caravan drop me an email and I'll see if I can help you, all my business cards are with the local dealers! Iv done a few jobs and know the Yorkshire roads well! I'm based in Northumberland, shame I can't give too much on here.

good evening everyone, I have had this business going for over 6 months or so and my business cards are at all dealers in the North East, I have cards also at different campsites a crossed the UK. I have a website as well which is getting lots of hits. Its interesting to hear what peoples...

Thanks Roger for posting, I do understand that there will be people who have friends or family who will be able to help when needed. It is a neiche market and i am sure word of mouth is vital to being sucessful. With the new licence rules in place for people to tow its very expensive hobby...

Good afternoon I decided to set up a towing service this year. I am a keen caravaner and decided that there is a small market out there where people may require my assistance when comes to towing their caravan or you could say pride and joy!. I would like to ask a few questions to see if i...

Good evening, I'm Sitting in my lovely warm caravan at the mo. BUT I have a problem with my heater, it's 13 years old and I think it's starting to be faulty!, firstly after towing to Bolton Abbey campsite, I found the front of the heater had come loose, so tried to put it back on which was...

Yeah I'm the same I don't understand why people take the chance! I did my trailer test and they drill it in your, mirrors are important!! Surely people who don't have mirrors on their car can't see everything behind them?

I'm thinking of going to the NEC caravan show as I like seeing the new models! I'm just debating wether to go down on the train or stay the night at the NEC. I went to the feb show which was really good, wonder if this one will have some different stuff.

Well I don't think the club prices are that bad, me and my wife are heading to Isle of Wight soon and for 10 nights its £199 which to me isn't that bad. I also think the club is good for discounts as we have saved lots of money on the ferry.
